Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. For the topping, combine all of the ingredients (except the marshmallows) in a small bowl.Mix with a fork until the mixture is well combined and resembles sand. Set aside. Poke 3 or 4 holes in each sweet potato with a fork or pairing knife. Microwave them until the flesh is soft, about 5 minutes. Turn the potatoes halfway through cooking. When the potatoes are cool enough, cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving enough next to the skin to support the filling later on. Collect the flesh in a medium bowl and set aside. Place the skins on a baking sheet and bake until the edges are browned and slightly crisp, about 15-20 minutes. While the skins are cooking, combine the sweet potato flesh with the egg, brown sugar and salt. Mash with a potato masher or fork until well combined and fluffy. Do not overwork the mixture. Remove the skins from the oven and scoop the filling, dividing it evenly. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes until the topping is melty and bubbly. Remove from the oven and top each potato with marshmallows. Return to the oven and bake until the marshmallows are golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them in this stage so the marshmallows don't burn.Serve immediately.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
